5 reasons couples shouldn’t dress alike (like D-Wade)

Should men wear manpris (Capri pants for men) like D-Wade? I was asked.

Not a good look, I responded. “No woman wants to see her man in Capri pants.”

During a 2012 interview with the New York Times Magazine, Wade said, “The clothes arrive with a memo from my stylist, Calyann Barnett, outlining which look is for which day. I might say no to a certain look a million times, but she keeps driving. It’s good to have that.”

Now, many consider the Miami Heat star to be one of the best players in the league on the court. Off the court, Wade considers himself to be an NBA fashion trend setter. But dressing like his actress girlfriend Gabrielle Union or any woman is not only a cry for attention, but a sign of fashion gone wrong.

Here’s why:

1. Women really don’t want their men wearing their clothes.

2. Manpris are not attractive.

3. Murses (man purses) aren’t cute either.

4. Dressing alike only works for Halloween and in middle school when you’re too young to know better.

5. The androgynous look doesn’t work if you have full beard, Adam’s apple and are taller than most humans.
